Its been awhile but I saw someone that took that piece of rubber that is already on the front of the tank, bought a rubber mud flap, cut it to size and put it together. You could probably also use a chrome mud flap....
Good question though...it is something I need to do. No one really notices the tunnel but it still bugs the **** outta me.

That is a decent solution. IMO Tanklifts belong on Rockers, cleans up the lines flawlessly..

I've always wanted to see a before and after of a tank lift. I never could understand why someone would want to do it.
